Suggest neurological consultation, as you may well have Narcolepsy, and this can be handled successfully. Would avoid driving until this is all controlled.

Blepharospasm is a condition that causes the eyes to blink and close spontaneously. An ophthalmologist or neurologist can confirm this and recommend treatment. An MRI of the brain is indicated, in case this is something unusual with the brain circulation. If this only happens while driving, then you should not drive until the issue is resolved for the safety of others.
